Sarge B Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Had a fault appear on my 2007 A6 saloon. Brake light warning on the dash (with that really annoying beep on start up!). However brake lights all fine - eve n had them off to check terminals etc. How do I reset it to stop it bleeping/flashing the warning...? or does anyone know a solution?

My fog lights always give me a warning, one after the other. If I turn them on the warning goes away. I know what the cause is and I could fit resistors to cure it, but it don't bother me that much. It's because I fitted LED's. You may have a power drop on the light that's causing it. Try fitting a separate ground wire to that light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Hello Steve, You may (in caps) have two brake light bulbs per side - worth a check. Also check for poor contacts and good earths. Use contact cleaner as necessary. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One had failed and so brake light appeared to still work. Swapped a new bulb in - sorted for a total of £1..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Thanks Steve, Just as well I posted, so at least others will now know what the solution was. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
